Flying Monkey Medium Roast Espresso Blend: profile and selection
Flying Monkey brings chocolate, honey and graham-cracker impressions to an espresso blend intended to hold its own in milk. PT’s uses three coffees from Latin America and Southeast Asia, roasting the blend to a medium level. Its combination of sweetness and a little acidity is especially relevant when your usual order is a cappuccino, latte or mocha.
This page preserves the roaster’s documented origin, process, roast, tasting, format and story details without filling gaps with assumptions. The factual profile below is the scope of the current product record.
Current selections include 10 oz, 2 lb and 5 lb. Confirm the exact size, grind, caffeine choice and flavor when applicable before ordering.

Brew for Medium coffee
For espresso, begin with a basket-appropriate 18-gram dose and about 36 grams of beverage yield. Treat a 1:2 ratio and roughly 25–30 seconds as diagnostic references, not rigid targets. Taste the shot before changing the recipe.
A fast, thin or sharply sour shot usually needs a finer grind. A slow shot with a dry finish often benefits from a coarser setting. Hold dose and yield steady during the first change so extraction, strength and flow are not confused.
Taste a straight shot before adding milk, then test the same recipe in the intended cappuccino or latte. If the coffee disappears, try a slightly shorter ratio after achieving even extraction.
Use a scale for dose and water. Beverage yield, drawdown and total contact time are diagnostic measurements rather than goals by themselves. Evaluate body, acidity, clarity and finish together, then make the smallest useful adjustment.
Whole-bean users can pair the Turin DF64 Gen 2 grinder with the Turin Legato espresso machine for repeatable espresso adjustments. A prepared espresso grind is convenient, but one fixed particle size cannot fit every basket and machine.
How to choose and evaluate this coffee
PT’s starting recipe uses a 20 g dose for 38–42 g espresso in 28–33 seconds, with a 199°F group-head setting where programmable. It gives 7–8 seconds as the first-drop reference for a bottomless portafilter and recommends a rest of 7–12 days after roasting.
Taste the finished beverage in the cup and serving style you actually use. A profile that seems delicate black may work differently with milk, while a roast-forward coffee may become more balanced after modest dilution.
A larger bag is economical only when the coffee will be used at a sensible pace. Divide bulk coffee into smaller airtight portions, keep one active, and protect the rest from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas.
Freshness, storage and repeatability
Fresh roasted coffee releases gas. Degassing can change bloom, drawdown and espresso flow over the life of the bag, so expect small grind corrections while keeping dose and beverage yield documented.
Tasting notes describe sensory impressions unless the listing explicitly identifies added flavor. They are not a complete ingredient, allergen or nutrition statement; consult current packaging when those details determine the purchase.
